Early morning walk on the beach with my dog. Not being able to herd the waves was driving him crazy

Just a cell phone picture from the other night

Starting to pack for the big 12 mile trip to the MABS show. One nice thing is that if I forget anything I can just run home and get it

My dog and my daughters hedgehog named Winston. Trace is dying to get a good whiff of him but those spines are sharp!!

I have to admit after losing my last Aussie to cancer I settled on Blue Buffalo after reading his reason for starting up the brand. I feed Trace Blue Buffalo Wilderness and augment his diet with other fresh foods

I agree. Get yourself a Scots pine and you'll be much better off

My go to beer at the moment is Jack's Abby "Mass Rising) double IPL. Jack's Abby is a small brewery that only does lagers and they do them very well IMHO. Worth checking out if you see at your store

A few years ago I got an idea from the commercial where some people were rolling a ball of lights down a beach. I took all my extra lights and made a ball that I hang up in a very large maple in my yard. It looks pretty cool and you can see it from quite far away coming down the street

They have one, but at almost $800 it's about twice as expensive as the one you're getting. One thing I've learned after researching light systems is that there's sure a lot of people growing weed out there

I think I'm going over to LED's from my MH light I have now. I've been looking at Advanced LED's blue 5w LED system.

I'm hoping it came from the land of the Ogre ;)

I'll be there on Saturday. I'm heading up on Friday and staying overnight at my brothers place in Crohgan, then will head in early Saturday morning. Looking forward to it

Well if you ever decide that you need one, I'd be happy to work with you designing/making one

Even worse right now around here are the Deer Flies. I must have killed 20 or on my walk with my dog yesterday and deet doesn't seem to bother them at all

This stand was never designed to copy Chinese or Japanese furniture. There are plenty of people making stands like that out there. I just wanted to design something a little more American with a nod to the aesthetics of Oriental design. I agree the back piece may be a little heavy handed in...

Thanks for the comments everyone, I do appreciate them all. The "wall" is supposed to represent a cliff wall and I'm not sure that I'd like it without it. I also think it helps balance it out and gives it a little weight to that side, but do do believe it should/could be made "lighter" by...

Here's my first attempt at my cascade stand. Because the height of the table it sat on, the space between the bottom and the shelf was less then my original "sketch".

I hear ya, I was just saying that this product has already been screened and it's as clean as anything that I would have run through my screens at home. Like red lava you'll always have some kind of dust, but not so much that it wouldn't wash out when you water after re-potting

Same here! Nice thing about this pumice is there's no need to screen it before you use it, it's already done for you Thanks Josh! Dave

Before and after of a big White Cedar Suthin worked on

Two of the mainstays of this event had to drop out because of family issues. If Jim Doyle and Bill Valavanis were there the tree quality/quantity would have been much different. There were a lot of potters, and because I needed pots more than trees made me happy

Vance, I wasn't calling you out in that post. I posted the picture to show that the Akadama hadn't hardly broken down at all, and was re-potting because the box was packed with roots (I had a heck of a time getting it out) and seemed to be drying out very quickly last summer. I guess if I was...

Just wanted to post a picture of a kashima maple I re-potted today that was growing in a wooden grow box. I know that it's been said in this thread that akadama will turn to mush in the colder climates, and I wanted to show that that's not necessarily true in all cases. It's been in this soil...

For what it's worth I prefer a black background too
